We don't really have a thread dedicated to Sabres adv stats/league stats/fun numbers. So here's an attempt at a couple things

SORS = strength of remaining schedule (avg opponents P% for the rest of the season)
GR/H/A = games remaining/home/away
vEDM, vBUF etc = games left vs Edmonton, Buffalo, etc.
-----------------------------
As of right now, we sit at 31 points with 8 Regulation/OT wins in 47 games.
Last season we had 33 points with 7 ROW in 47 games:
Last Season Standings at this point
30. Buffalo 47 GP - 33pts - 7 ROW
29. Edmonton 51 GP - 36pts - 13 ROW
28. Calgary 49 GP - 39pts - 13 ROW
---------------------
Current Rest Of Season Situation
16 Home Games
19 Away Games
22 Games versus the East; 13 versus the West
Sabres Season
With the Sabres final 35 games, 16 are home and 19 are away.
The Sabres home win % is .4 and they get points out of 50% of those games. (Last year it was .346/.5)
Their away Win % is .181, and they get points out of 22.7% of those games (last year it was .19/.33)
They have 22 Games Against the East (10H/12A) and 13 against the West (6H/7A)
Win % against the East = .313 with a Point % = .406
Win % against the West = .267 with a Point % = .267
So with that, basing their win and point percentage off of their remaining games and record versus the east & west, they could finish 10-22-3, for 54 points for an 96% chance of finishing 30th, and an 4% chance of finishing 29th
Using their Home and Away Win and Point percentage, they could finish 10-22-3 for 54 points for a 96% chance of finishing 30th, and a 4% chance of finishing 29th
-----------
Draft Order Probability
Finishing 30th this season will most likely mean a team around at most 60 points. For Buffalo, that would mean no better than 11 wins in their final 35 games
“Successful Tank†Finish
In order to finish 30th in the league, and guarantee the Sabres a top 2 pick, the Sabres most likely need to finish with less than 60 points. Preferably, the Sabres should finish more around 55 points or less to increase the chance.
60 Points would be a record of around 11-17-7 / 13-19-3 (Win 1 every 3 games)
55 points would be a record of around 9-20-6 / 10-21-4 (Win 1 every 4 games)
50 points (100% 30th finish) = record around 7-23-5 / 8-24-3 (Win 1 every 5 games)
Of Note: SCS currently pegs the Sabres to finish 9-19-7 (56 points), an 91% chance for 30th.
Probability % of finishing 30th – 29th – 28th
53 points = 98 - 02 - 0
54 points = 96 - 04 - 0
55 points = 94 - 06 - 0
56 points = 91 - 09 - 0
57 points = 87 - 12 - 0
58 Points = 82 – 17 – 1
59 Points = 76 – 23 – 1
60 Points = 68 – 30 – 2
61 Points = 59 – 37 – 4
“Need some lotto luck†Finish
If the Sabres were to finish the season with between 12-14 wins, a point total between 62-65, they would most likely be finishing in 29th place.
Probability % of finishing 30th – 29th – 28th
62 Points = 50 – 43 – 7
63 Points = 40 – 48 - 11
64 Points = 31 – 51 – 17
65 Points = 23 – 52 – 24
------------------
Current Predicted Standings
Right now, the predicted final standings and draft order (barring lottery results) would be:
as of 1/24/2015 @ 9:00 PM EST
Buffalo (29.8)
Edmonton (28.7)
Arizona (27.9)
Carolina (26.3)
(The number in brackets is the average finish after running a lot of simulations)
Meaning the Sabres would have a 20% shot at winning the lottery, but a guaranteed top 2 pick.
------------------------
In easy to understand terms:
Sabres at 60 or less points(11 wins or less): ~70% or Better chance of finishing 30th (Guaranteed Top 2 Pick)
Sabres at 62-65 points(Between 12 ~ 14 wins): Toss up between finishing 29th or 30th (Picking either 1st, 2nd or 3rd)
